Latitude Carbon SS Sticks - Are they worth it?

[@bassamaticfpv4354]

Got mine late last week, aiders showed about 4 days later. Got sticks delivered in less than two weeks from order. 4 sticks w ropes = 5.1 lbs They seem very solid, very quiet on tree and under load. Mine came w the rubber strap, still could maybe use the stealth strip kit. They barely tap when put together if the strap isn’t super tight in center. I would order another strap but can’t find them on their website. Maybe one strap on each end. Will try to get the genisis kit as well. Just wish he had a 4 stick kit instead of ordering 2 entire kits. Super happy here, saddles are solid as well.

My strap they provided broke after 7 sits. They are sending me another one. But I found some others that work great. Voile straps. I use two 20 inch ones to hold the sticks together and a 25 inch to hold the sticks to my LWCG .5. So far no complaints. They don’t stretch as much as the one they provide but they work. Fairly priced and several colors to choose from. Hope that helps!

Like mine! They stack just fine. Take last stick in the stack and wrap the cord around the cleats opposite of the stored cord. This will pull the bottom stick towards the upper stick nice and tight. Lope the rope aider on top and use the rubber strap to hold them in place.

Sticks are really light weight but have very little foot room. They do not stay snug to the tree either regardless what other reviews say. I've reached up to grab the next stick and the bottom pulls out. They can be noisy too. I did alot to make them less noisy but still clank alot compared to others. I personally like the tethrd ones better.

[@Jase-E]

DBJ Outdoors has the solution for the stacking issue. Great review.

[@alekspeterson8787]

Love mine as well. Transitioned from a climber to hang on with sticks this year and wanted a light mobile setup. These are perfect for that goal. Highly recommend the Stick Stack Stow system for these as well, from Genesis 3D printing--helps keep them together and prevent banging noises when setting up.

Where can you get stow stack mod

[@Deerpoo22]

Probably the best review on these yet. Great job man. Seeing these pop up in classifieds everywhere tho

[@AERIALASSAULT1]

Appreciate that! And they aren't for everyone but I think they are priced fair and perform pretty well!

[@MHobbs06]

I like mine so far. They pack pretty well on my JX3 with them stacked vertically on the back with the leg straps ran through the standoffs. I think people can’t get past the plastic look and feeling of them. I like that there’s no moving parts and the rope system is simple. They’re also made in the USA. Reasonably priced compared to others. But I would order from Scheels or somewhere other than directly from Latitude. Shipping through them was 2-3 weeks. Got mine from Scheels, with free shipping, in 3 days.

The latitude ss sticks do sell a bungie piece that can be putt on to lock in place, otherwise just use those stiff rubber ties. That works great for me, also when synching on tree. You might want to have the backside of the rope higher and not parallel to tree. I also added camo stealth silencer tape to contact areas to dampen the noise

[@thehuntingparadox2291]

Nice review! I bought some straps from Voile straps. They aren’t as stretchy as the one that comes with them but I like them. I use 2 to hold my sticks together and a longer one to attach them to my LWCG .5. Good luck this season!

[@naturalstatebowhunter327]

Genesis 3d printing has nice add-ons to these sticks

[@lizzleyt]

Best bang for the buck stick right now are the XOP x2s hands down.

[@lukeminey2059]

Just bought those for this season and so far I've no complaints other than the cam buckle straps preffer a daisy

[@tomnolan2186]

I agree. X2 sticks are great. Especially for the price

[@Labradorslobber]

I like the way they stack. You’d still use a strap even if they locked together

[@innovatingtheoutdoors]

Great video man! Very well put together, them dang mosquitos 😂😂

[@allannesss7782]

I’ve run every stick out there. Currently have lwcg doubles and ewo feather lights. Man, the ewo’s are probably the only stick I’ll never sell!

[@GuitarlordJohnBurton]

Good review man. Thanks.

[@tylerdunworth969]

Those tabs where the rope connects and wraps is a concern to me. How durable it that? It looks like it isn’t attached to the stick by much material

[@davidmowbray5923]

Has anyone used a 3 step aider on these?

[@backalachia]

Any updates after using them for awhile?

[@AERIALASSAULT1]

Still zero issues for me

[@showmerc9649]

Please get rid of that slack line.

[@MarkSaba-n8d]

Thanks for saving me some money. I’ll stick with xop x2

[@Murphy.Outdoors]

I planned to get X2s on BF sale but figured why not get the Latitudes for about $80 more. Like that Latitudes come w good straps vs X2 I'd end up replacing w Amsteel. Tough call. I'm so torn

[@MarkSaba-n8d]

@@Murphy.Outdoors I’ll say this, even though it’s the conventional pull strap, and I do run amsteel with some sticks, I find having those straps in the field has saved my ass on more than one occasion. I run the xop retrograde hybrid lock on and when I need to remove layers of clothes, or pack a harvest out after I clean it, I was so thankful that i had those straps.. just food for thought. Those stand offs on the xop are so far off the tree too. Made for a grown man 😂

[@jedwards-yr5sy]

​@@Murphy.Outdoorsthe x2s by far have the best bite to the tree. Also A 350lb rating is good for us big guys. I like the latitude but cant beat how well the x2s lock on the tree

[@ukjw2]

Shoot. First notice you made with them and I thought I’d use them to rattle in 1.5 year olds

[@cornerstonearchery5123]

Dual purpose! Climb with 1 and use the other 2 as rattling antlers!

[@AERIALASSAULT1]

I'm just waiting for someone to post they rattled one in with them lol

[@din75cschmoo]

Yeah , hate to climb with muddy boots. They be real greasy, no teeth on the steps 👎🏼

[@ebayollis]

No they are not
